The improved machine hcrcin described. 18

intended to remove; andsave the ink wiped oil from the Plate of die plate and other engraving presscs, by the .iviping roll. It also cleanses the paper and permits it to be used several times.

In this machine are assembled mechanisms for cleansing the paper and collecting "the ink. for pcrmeatingthe paper with oil after,

tho primary scraping oil of the greater mass of the ink, an 'o l remover to remove this oil with the ink contained in it, devices tor col.-

' lac-ting (his inixtnre and a tensional ivipc'r collector for moving. the wiper. vW ith these main mechanisms are used anu nberof am:- iliary deviccs whlch will, he described, in the detailed description of th'chest iloringof tho machine of which Iain at present aware. I The machine can be used with presses in which the movement of thciviping roll is continuous 'or interrupted.

At 5 convenient-point where the paper. after it has been uscd towipethcplate, is led into the machine, from thc .press,fi.s placed thc scraper 26. The'paperl-b einglcciit can. by

In the draiving'slhc strip of paper passing oiib'of the prose marked 24, and is shown as making an ohtusc' angle atits line ofco'ntact with scraper 26. That is, the planes formed by the faces of the paper oneither sidoof the line" fornicd by the cdge'of' the 'scraper"26, make with each other, at thishnc of'i'nterscciion, an obtuse angle. 'Achustable mountings for the scrapcr 26 are shown: in double scale in Fig.

where the plate'29 s'adjustable lengthwise on arm 21 and jtwo abut-merits 28, 28,

form a holder in which ascrape'r can be ad justcd and held so asto fit-correctly against the paper. Bcneath thoscraper is a collector 23 for-the ink scraped oil" the paper.

-A roller 3Q, constitutes an oil porineator for the paper forming thsmvipcr. It' dips into an oil container 31-"andis placcd in the path of and in vcontact with, the paper 24 the scrapcr." T hisv r oll'er 301is preferably passing out of the'press after itlias' passed made to revolve in the op 'io ificdiite ction to tho; papers novelnent anda convcniont' incans of turning it 15 5119 sprockctwvhecl' 37 and the drive chain 65. QThis oil container 31 can be fed from a tank 32- hy means of an automatic feding device 33consisting (see Fig. 9} of a valve 34 moved in -thc cock 4 1 the leatherside; pieces alone coming, into contact withlthe hoaked paper, are'le ss likely it U I consider the'best form of oil remover to the roller 30. The tensional wiper collector.

causes the paper to press against scrapers placed in theportion of the path of'the wiper after the roller has permeated the paper with oil so as to bring to the surface of the paper the mixture of oil and ink.

- The scrapers are preferably formed of a foundation of -metal- 48, with leather side" pieces l9, l9 a's shown l0 andll. The metal gives} thestiffness-required, and

tocut it, but are equally-efiicient to bring to the surface and remove the mixture of oil and ink. i

remove-the oil thathas filled thepaper by the action of the oil permeator'with the ink soaked outby' the oil to 'be scrapers.- The scrapers 41 and 42 work on the-opposite sides of the paper. They can be' suitably-se cured by'clamim, l5, 45, in which'the scrapers' can be adjusted to desired positions. I refer to add another scraper 43, that fits oosely in its carrier -14, and presses on the paper by its own weightonly. These scrapyielding strain upon tliejpaper forming the wiper, such as will not break it or tear it softened as it is and rendered easily torn by being permeated with oil., The shaft 51 oiinwhich thepaperroll is carried, is urged c tinuously forward by a frictional contact between a, pulley 52 carried-by itanda constantly driven friction pulley 63. The details I1nse in practice are these. I drive a sprocket wheel 64 by a chain drive 65, this being connected by thehollow shaft 66 with the fl'lCttOII pulley 63; A face of-pulley 63 is supported from'the casing byv the ball bearings 61. The-other side-of pu'lley 63 is pressed against the pulley 5'2, preferably a washer of leather or other .isuitable frictional material being-interposed between them. The pulleyfiQ-is pressed toward pulley 63 by the head 54,, carried by the screw 55 working in the casing67. The ball ewing 53 is interposed between the head and? the pulley To prevent the'lessenmg' of the tension I use the ratchet wheel 56 and pawl 57. This pawl has an a rm 58. that rubs against the wheel'56. [5918 a leather pm! on the arm and 69 aleatherwashersecured in the wheel (preferably snnk therein) hi h can, either OI bOtll, be

the friction between the arm 58 and wheel 56. The arm 58 may be sprung against the wheel 56 and for this pur ose I can use the spring 68,-the pinion 71 0' which the pinion turns being provided witl1[a head T2 and screw- The straprests against the' sideofthe roll 17 [and the friction between it and the roll caiised by the weight 16 prevents the roll of unused paper 17' from 'unrolling jmore rup- -idly than itis'pulled into the press.

' rotating in the, oppositc direction to the motron of 'thepapenfee'ds the oil-to it, thereby thinning-andbringing to its surface the residue Of-tllelllk 'in'the paper, so that the mixing of oil .and'ink can be removed readily by the scrapers 41, {12,- past which .the paper moves after it has received the oil from the roller. The ink and the mixture of oil and ink arecollected in suitable receptacles. The ink is usually ina' condition for immediate use. The mixture of oil and ink is allowed to settle and the clear oil is recovered for another use,'and, if desired, the heavier mixture of ink {ind oil can be sepa- The tensionalwiper collector enables the improved machineto adapt itself to a with an. irregular: feed of the -wipi'n paper (as practically all embossing an. plate printing pre es are)", provided the'speed of the positivel' .driven part is suflicierit for this purpose I and the tension being light enough not to tear th'epaper' that has pamed through the foil permeating device, yer-iaimmediately, but for feara slightresidue of the oil remain in it, it is usually set aside for a few days to dry. Of course,-while paper is the accepted material for wiping plates, the machine is applicable toany sunk lar material. The paper can be used many times and the loss in ink and oil is very small, rendering the, improved machine a very profitable one to operate.

an-ink scraper placed in the path of'the wiper. an oil permeator-filling the wiper with oil. placed at a point in the path of the, wiper beyond and elevated above theink scraper. whereby the oil will flow down ward on the wiper toward the ink scraper. an oil remover placed in the path of the wiper beyond the permeator and a tensionally operated wiper collector. the tension of which is strong enough to cause it to draw the wiper but light enough not to tear the wiperwhile'weakened bybeing tilled with oil by the permeator.

3. The combination in a plate wiper deinking machine. with the porous plate wiper. in the form of a feeding roll. a collecting roll and an intermediate portion. of a freely revoluble shaft carrying the feeding roll of the plate'wiper. an ink scraper placed in the path of the wiper. an oil permeator tilling thepaper with oil placed in the path of the wiper beyond the ink scraper. an oil remover placed in the path of.the wiper beyond the permeator. a tensional wiper collector. the tension of which is strong enough to cause it to draw the wiper but light enough not to tear the wiper when weakened by being tilled with oil by the permeator. and a brake acting to retard the unrolling of the wiper upon the revoluble shaft.
